UnionContract-shaking handsYONKERS, NY – September 29, 2014 — Teamsters Local 456, Yonkers Firefighters Local 628, UFOA, SEIU, AFSCME will stand side-by-side with each other and with Yonkers CSEA and YFT at a demonstration/rally at 4:30 pm Tuesday, September 30, 2014 at Yonkers City Hall.  The men and women of 456, 628, UFOA, SEIU, and AFSCME have been working without contracts or cost of living increases for over 5 years, and in some cases 6 years.  We are asking every available union member to attend this important show of solidarity and to arrive BEFORE 4:30 pm. We are also requesting that you bring you spouses and children with you, if possible. Children are encouraged to bring homemade signs with them pointing out the fact that the Yonkers Teamsters, Yonkers Firefighters, Yonkers Fire Officers, Yonkers SEIU, and Yonkers SFSCME have all been working without a contract or a cost of living increase for almost 6 years.  Please have everyone coming WEAR A WHITE T-SHIRT or any WHITE shirt or jacket.

While most City unions and employees have been working without contract and raises for over five years, last week Mayor Mike Spano attended and spoke at a rally in Scarsdale for 32B-32J (supers, porters and building maintenance workers) and stating that these workers deserve a fair contract and raises.  32B-32J workers have been working with contracts for the past 6 years and have received raises for each of those past six years.  Their contract expires on September 30th and if a new agreement is not reached by that date they plan on striking and setting up picket lines at their work locations.  While Mayor Spano refuses to sit at the table with the unions in Yonkers and delays and postpones negotiation sessions with the Yonkers unions, he called upon 32B-32J employers to sit down with the union and “get it done.”

At 4;30 pm on Tuesday, September 30, 2014, at Yonkers City Hall we will call on Mayor Mike Spano to sit down with each union in Yonkers and GET IT DONE!

    1. FAT STEVE AT IT AGAIN !

      No Fat Steve people have lives they don’t stay on there phones all day writing on the Tribune you Loser.

      1. FAT Stephan

        I heard fat steve got a tongue lashing from his uncle for running his fat mouth all over telling people he is involved in the negotiations, anyone that knows the Spano Family knows that Fat Steve is the load that should have been swallowed! so go back to talking politics with the welfare workers you drive around FAT BOY! they are more on your intelligence level!!

  2. million dollar listing north of yonkers

    Thanks for all comments this is why I make sure to show this site to all my buyers thinking about that good deal in yonkers.
    Nothing but thanks .

    1. welfare and section 8

      That’s what it’s all about now can’t sell it so call henry, dawn, toni, antonie, the list goes on right ken. Just to be fair no one asked about a 40 cell mansion with lead paint no heat and a leaky roof on top of contaminated soil with a great view of a chimney and train tracks on Alexander st. Buyer’s remorse is setting in. Thanks again.

  3. Ypd.

    Got a phone call from a FF friend who said that Barry Mcgoey was asked to run for Mayor and that he is seriously considering it. WTF????
    YFD union president is thinking of running for mayor and our union president can’t even vote for him.
    Oh why ask cause Keith will be a convicted felon by than and felons especially ones still in jail are not allowed to vote.
    Their president thinking of running for Mayor of The City of Yonkers and our President is wondering if he is going to get arrested.

    Some shit. Should have listened to my DAD and taken the FD test instead.

  4. Ichabod Crane

    Hey DPW guys…….I dropped dime and got a cpl guys totally locked out of a FH for work..the guys were lazy…stupid, arrogant, and incompetent..They will never step foot in FH again…..they work for literally 45 mins a day then are on cell phones..sleep, work out unauthorized its NOT city property the weight room and watch TV it is a lot easier and more efficient to have FF themselves do any work in FH that is needed maybe FF have some down time..but we are on call at a moments notice..DPW..well let me qualify..alot of the OLDER DPW guys are good..they care..and have a work ethic, and do a good job…..,it is the young guys that first aren’t qualified as there is no test, second are spoiled since they think their union can do anything and third are arrogant and think they are in the same boat as the FF and police….

  5. stevie the whale

    How stupid is Mike? lets see…. let me take advice from my youngest brother that happens to be a high school drop out who couldn’t hold a real job for more than 3 months before daddy got him a fake mail diploma to become deputy clerk, the same brother that duped mayor Mike into hiring his pregnant wife into a job she is most definitely not qualified to do. and now Mayor Vinnie walks around telling people he runs the show!! no wonder the city is such a mess!!! maybe Fat Stevie can be Mikes next right hand man

    1. Spano name once was.......

      The Spano name was once a highly respected and powerful name throughout yonkers……

      It must sadden len sr to hear the spano name he worked so hard to build up is now known as lazy, arrogant, obnoxious and entitled.

  6. YPD to YFD

    Who are you guys Picking on Layoff the DPW you guys get pulled over all the Time Loaded and pull out your little square badge you are zero to us good luck next time one of you are loaded Pricks we all work for the same Mayor .

    1. Seriously????

      If anyone from DPW or YPD is seriously responding to these clearly fictitious posts from “YFD members” you are fools. This is clearly a desperate attempt by some city hallers to create animosity between the unions. Use your heads. The only one who benefits from the unions being at odds is whom? Exactly! Stand united. Ignore the lackies. Their time is drawing near.

  7. stupid garbage pickers

    There drunk boss with 4 DWI’S or more sit in the stinky garage were everybody hates each other and jealous of the new guys turning wrenches and the garbage pickers claim there stealing there stuff they stole and hid in the truck from the other garbage pickers .Then fist fight on the streets because they didn’t split cash from picking up demo from contractors on dead ends streets and beg to get a route on west side of central Ave to shake down homeowners for X Mas tips. This is why you get NO respect and NO raises blame yourself.

    1. Seriously????

      City hall lackie (above post). What’s going to happen when you have to find a real job and you have zero skills???

    1. YFD

      Your not in our league pal sorry we are going to arbitration and will win go back to picking up our garbage you guys are a joke

      1. More questions to follow.

        Can someone tell me Jamie McGills start date with the IDA?

        Can someone tell me her wedding anniversary ?

        (To the mayors brother)

        Can someone tell me when her baby was born?
        (the mayors nephew)

        I’m sure the mayor can answer all of the above, so maybe he can answer why he hired her when he was well aware she was family….

        Oh I know, maybe he wasn’t invited to the wedding…

      2. YFD NEEDS EAP !

        YFD Bunch of Drunks and Drugies they have no Drug testing DPW Does . I know a Bunch of you YFD weed heads Keep up the good SMOKE I mean Work !

    2. Lol Strength in Unity

      Mr Strength in Unity,

      Mind your own business. You should be worried about your own union and stop giving your useless quotes. I think your union has their fair share of issues. Plus you already sold out all of the other unions by jumping the gun and signing a contract that FD would never agree upon.
      Strength in Barry!
      FD the union with a true leader!

  8. YFD

    1. Rat will be at Spano's house very soon

      How will Mrs Spano feel about the rat outside her house? Can’t freaking wait to see the rat in colonial heights.

      1. Rat will be at Spano's house very soon

        And then we’ll bring it down town to Channel 2 news. Fuck w our families and we’ll fuck w the entire Spano family….including the felon

        1. Fed up Teamster

          There will be no rat at Spanos house just like it wasn’t at city hall they were told leave it at home they want to protect their kids, they dont care about me and you the deal is done already you are really a dumb fuck to think otherwise, best part you dummies show up your a joke just like the city and the union

  9. Hahahaaaaa

    The Spano apologists are in overdrive. It’s actually quite amusing to see them try to defend Mike Spano. What’s Mike done since he became mayor? ? ? ?
    NOTHING.

  10. Want Contract

    As im not happy with the Mayor and people he has in place. I read these comments and laugh you guys are all bashing guys hired by Spencer/Amicone who all had their guys in place they are all the same no to mention Louies son and Nephew also getting $10,000 more other nephew made supervisor its all a joke we are being played by both sides but cant stand any of them it takes a special kid of pu#*y to talk shit and not sign their name u guys sound like 10 year olds grow the fuck up have some balls approach these people u let take up so much space in ur head sounds like u have a man crush faggot.we are fucked the deal is done its all a show

    1. 2 term mayor

      That would be comical. Mikes numbers are through the ROOF.

      BARRY knows that. That’s why he doesn’t push it to far with city hall.

  11. overweight steve

    so lets see…
    Fat Steve, Glen “dwi” and DJLenny all get 10k more a year and do nothing jobs. Dolores has her son in law Dom Pellegrino hired within days of her brothers administration to work in the same dept where her nephew Lenny got himself a nice promotion. Frankie Caragine bounces from parks to municipal housing. Gerard gets a 30k raise and a brand new take home police car and all he does is drive his brother and follow him on vacations. Vinnie the weasel gets his pregnant girlfriend a 100k a year do nothing job while boosting himself to city clerk with no high school diploma. Yes Mr Mayor. you wont hire family!!! i’ll keep this in mind come election time

  12. Ignorance

    While reading through all these comments I cant but help see the tension between the working man and the realatives of Spano or his followers who are also recieving perks.
    It is natural to want and get by working hard, Its un natural to give and reward with money that isnt yours (the tax payer’s money) .
    What I can see is going on here is straight out steeling using the City of Yonkers as your own personal Corporation handing out promotions and High wage paying Jobs is not something to proud of as a Mayor.
    For starters I read that you gave out raises to your administration who were already being paid a handsome wage, NOT Hiring Family was one of your promises you made to the tax payers of Yonkers and you have done nothing but hire family . You have Back stabbed the Tax Payer Mike and we seeit dont think us tax payers wont be heard come next election. Its a real shame , Shame on you and your family for looting the Tax Payer’s of this Fine City.

    1. The city must be financially stable...

      Mike gave all his nephews a raise immediately, his brother a 30k raise through overtime driving him and his kids to family affairs.
      Most recent hired Jamie McGill 2 weeks before she was married to the high school drop out vinnie Spano, while she was pregnant with his kid.

      C’mon mike we expected better then this.

      1. mjs

        I’m Cuomo’s bitch….whatever he says goes because he holds my next job. You should’ve known my tactics when I changed parties to run for mayor…..sucker taxpayers. Now, I can put something on my resume besides cathedral h.s. diploma and get as many familia on the city payroll as possible.
        Isn’t that why McLoughlan is going his own path against Cuomo’s ways.

  13. lol

    1. Fat chance Fat Mile Spanp

      Yeah right. Ever hear of a contract and past practice? Mike already tried that and HE LOST. You fucking Spano’s are MORONS !!!

      Start putting your resumes together Spano lackies. You’ll all be looking for new jobs before you know it.

    2. ??????

      Who cares about full days asshole we are workers not like his lazy nephews they should be worried about full days no more going home at 10:30 for them hahaha and they dont even lift garbage.

  16. Won't be wrriting in Mike's name on the ballot next year

    I guess Mike and Nick have forgotten how many of us voted for him last year. He wouldn’t have had the conservative line if we didn’t write his name on the ballot. That won’t happen again – ever – no matter what Eddie says or asks. The men are done w all of the Spano’s especially Mike.

  17. 456.....

    I can remember back in the 90’s. Senator Spano would walk into the teamster hall with a standing ovation!! A true leader who always backed the union.

    I’m sure he can’t be happy with this outcome after a lifetime of history.

  18. haveTo

    What a sh#t city to work for and live in. I wish I moved down south years ago and leave this cesspool. Now I’m stuck here and even if a contract gets settled, I’m sickened by the lack of decency displayed by the current city leaders. That will NEVER be forgotten.

  19. SIU

    Mike you better put me on OT around the clock, I’ll protect you from that RAT big bro.

    Maybe we should book a seminar and leave the country fast!!!

  20. Every one of you people are nothing but losers

    To all of you people that post this shit – Get a fucking life. Stop writing shit that you wouldn’t have the balls to say it to someone’s face that wouldn’t give two shits about your loser ass any way. Stop talking about shit you are too powerless to control. You are too stupid to be in charge of any municipality which is why you have to write shit when no one knows who you are. When you have the balls to step the fuck up and say who you are and what you feel then you are respect worthy. No matter what your title is. If you don’t then shut the fuck up. You are nothing. Nobody. What you write doesn’t mean shit. fat Steve this. Go to fat Steve and say what you wrote. You don’t have balls. So sign off and go find something else to make your life worthy.

    1. stephan for mayor

      whatever you do Stephan, please don’t take your white shirt off at the rally, we know you are a spano but they may have to lock you up for indecent exposure if those big fat titties start floppin. you should reflect on the fact that your UNCLE is the mayor and the best job you could get is driving around welfare workers. I know you realize how sad that is, that there was absolutely nothing else you are capable of doing!!! shows how much your uncle thinks of you

    2. sad

      In any honest world, your comments would be well taken. However, you shouldn’t wonder why the vast majority of people who comment on his blog, uses an assumed name. It simple; they worry about retaliation; political retaliation.
      For those who are Spanos or their toadies, it’s easy to proclaim your support for this corrupt administration to the heavens. You will do your expounding with little fear of any real retribution, except maybe a big harrumph, from the bastards who are sucking the life blood from the COY taxpayer.
      For the rest of us, we have heard all the results of honest “freedom of speech” attempts that are contrary to Mikey the magnificent, his felon brother and the rest of the corrupt power brokers who are aligned along the taxpayer feeding trough. We know the husbands that have lost promotions, or even their jobs for crossing the genuflection line. We heard about the wives whose jobs have mysteriously lost their funding; the kids who have suddenly been the victim of a budget adjustment and have lost their jobs. Just as these bastards reward those who tow the Spano line, they are ruthless in their punishment of those who blanch at the dark nature of their administration.
      Like the many totalitarian organizations that have crashed and burned before, I assure you there will be an ugly end to these back room bosses. Until then, many of us will continue to prepare for the celebration on the day of the Spano perp walk.

  21. Hey Ill Vote for SPANO !!!

Lol

    2. mjs

      Living in YO never mattered….look at my deputy mayor, she even has an address in YO but her, HOME is up north. Also, most of city hall staff are non-residents.

  22. The Truth

    Politics:
    In one form or another whether you Vote or know a Politician everyone is looking for something in return. Think about it Low taxes that benefits someone so they vote for the guy rebates they vote for the guy its about what the polotician can deliver that gets the aproval.
    Just like when your a civil service worker our Loyalty goes to the Politician who is fair with us and we work for him election time and make him look fabulous during his term.
    you see everyone wants something in return thats what makes up the whole voting system.
    The Voters wanna be treated good And The Employees do to.

    We are not asking for anything crazy and we do care about the tax payers pocket. But as they promised you the Tax Payer to serve you well they did the same to our unions also and now we are looking for them to hold to there word thats all we want…

    1. RE:The Truth

      GREED:
      As an Employee we have no power as individules but we do as a whole a membership. We have Union representatives in Place we are suppose to trust with our best intrest , Shame on us for letting them satisfy there own selfish needs. Getting Union Jobs for relatives and friends takes away a tremendous amount of bargaining Power. AKA The Sell Out.
      These Union Leaders are so in Debt to Mayor Spano and his Administration for the favors they have recieved we the membership are paying for it and dearly !
      The so called day to day contract talks are nothing but a sham a delay a Bamboozel.
      I wish one day our membership will finally realize we were nothing but pawns in a few individuals sick and profitable gain for themselves.
      TEAMSTER MEMBERS
      Rise up against your leaders let them know they work for us the membership and we are tired of watching them Excel in salaries and Perks on Our Backs.
      We are STRONG !! IN UNITY THERE IS STRENGTH !! and WITHOUT US OUR TEAMSTER LEADERS ARE NOTHING !! WE NEED TO STAND UP AND OUST THESE THIEVES THAT ARE ROBBING US AND OUR FAMILIES OF A FAIR WAGE !!

          1. Bitch

            Whos fat steve? R we 10 years old by the way lets get out contract and stop being ball less wonders writing shit that ur to scared to sign ur name too

          2. HAHA

            Thats funny you havent signed your name to nothing yet but are begging everyone else to sign theres just like a controlling Spano off spring dont be mad and hold your breathe you may pass out TUBBY LOL

  23. What's considered fair?

    Does anyone have any idea what it is these unions are looking for in their contracts that their city won’t give them?

    1. inflation

      inflationary plus a small real raise equals fairness no give backs or a trade quid pro quo. this shit could have been solved in 2 days 3 years ago zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz wake me up when its over

  24. cuomo

    Cuomo, says NO…..that’s why cityhall is stalling. Excuses like financial crisis, no money for raises, nys needs to pay for the $4 billion bridge….. Mikey will not dare call his own shots, since he’s spent his time upstate. Did everyone receive election time bribe money, in the form of a rebate check. However, there are ways to bring this to a close soon….we all know how that works folks.
